sociable cycle ride Saturday June 2nd


Recommended Posts

This two-hour, easy-paced ride, using mostly quiet streets and paths, starts at 10am at Dulwich Clock Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ, and finishes at 12 noon in the same place.


There are some short stretches of busier road and also some hills, but the hills are short, and there is time built in to push your bike up these. allow time to walk these.


The route leads from Dulwich Park up to Horniman Museum, then over the hill to Sydenham Station and on to Cator Park where it joins National Route 21, aka the Waterlink Way, and follows this nearly to Catford. The Waterlink Way is lovely, miles of some of the nicest off-road path in south London, and should be in everyone's cycling repertoire. It's a little known gem. The ride comes back on quiet streets to Honor Oak then up and over the hill to return to Dulwich Park.


The route map is at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1X0v0PkV-RBf_5B-_-psG95-6V2I&ll=51.43914910000002%2C-0.053386700000089604&z=13. It looks very complicated to me but that's for the ride leaders to worry about.

    • It's a few years since I last grappled with a Windows installation, but I don't recall ever having done any apparent harm by using a Windows installation or recovery drive for repair purposes, and it can be effective.  Reinstalling the boot manager software shouldn't be a big or precarious deal for it.  It's already identified the problem and knows how to repair itself.
    • But has it been established that poor sewerage infrastructure can be a cause of flooding, for which legal responsibility could then be rightly attributed to a water company?
    • They're not. But the work to build bunds which hold significant amounts of water in Dulwich and more recently Peckham Rye parks, was undertaken to mitigate the impacts of poor drainage and sewerage infrastructure (which was under invested in for years) causing flooding to properties. The latter is (as I understand it) the responsibility of the water companies. I believe taxpayers have paid for the underinvestment in infrastructure by the water companies in two ways; firstly, by paying to have the changes made to the parks (I never got a clear answer from Renata on this forum when I asked, but think this is the case); and secondly through the loss of amenity those schemes inevitably create when those parks are waterlogged through the winter months. As I said, privatised profits, socialised costs.
